1. Give Back to the Community. Organizations Serving Arvada(OSA) is our committee for non-profit groups and people interested in the critical work they do. Active participants have the opportunity to interface with like minded, mission driven people. The group is viewed as a brain trust for non-profit professionals to share best practices, find new resources and encourage one another. OSA also gives the non-profit community more exposure through events like Sand-in-the City, Building-A-Better Arvada Raffle and the Annual Volunteer Challenge running the entire month of April!

2. Establish a Strong Inner Circle. Inspiring Women offers an opportunity to meet a diverse group of  women in the Chamber and learn their secrets to success. The bi-weekly meetings allows participants to learn more about each other through in-depth conversations and sharing of ideas. Although, this is not a leads group, many of the women in the group have developed strong relationships with each other and refer business back and forth. Join us the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month for a glass of wine and great conversation. Sorry, gentleman this is women only but your turn is coming.

3. Elevate your status in the Chamber. Do you love the Chamber as much as we do? Help tell our story and get our members plugged in. Being a part of our Ambassador program gives you the inside track to all things Chamber and supports our mission of engaging our members. Ambassadors get direct access with our membership while volunteering at events and welcoming new members.

4. Build a Powerful Sales Force. Everyone is doing more with less these days and could use another sales person to help tell their story.
